Tutorial: Spring Typography Collage Design
- In Silhouette Studio, add a word in the center of the mat.
2. Add more words, turning some of them on their side. When designing these typography collages, I like to use the largest font on my focus word in the center. I make all other text smaller.
3. Add more words. For fonts, I’m breaking the rules of 2 – 3 fonts per design. However, I’m using a set of fonts that are designed to work together.
5. Fine tune placement and alignment. (And, correct any mistakes – whoops!) Then, add color to your design.
But, what if you have weird spaces you can’t fill in the design? While I lucked out with this design, sometimes you’ll have small areas you can’t fill. In these cases, I usually fill with a related clipart.
For example:
That’s it! Your design is ready to go!
